In September, some of the supply chain’s brightest minds will gather in Nashville at PARCEL Forum 2023, the industry’s most comprehensive conference for small-parcel shipping. The event takes place September 11-13 at the Gaylord Opryland resort.

The event features an agenda offering valuable knowledge for shippers of all backgrounds, business types, experience levels, and company sizes. Through keynote speeches, workshops, presentations, and panels, attendees will gain access to an array of insights into the best shipping practices for 2023 and beyond. Warehousing, data analytics, carrier diversification, packaging, and 2024 forecasts are among the topics being covered.

Along with a dynamic lineup of speakers, the event also will feature a comprehensive exhibit hall to match attendees with the product and service providers shaping the future of shipping. Here, Sifted will be showcasing our Logistics Intelligence and Marketplace Intelligence platforms.

Sifted Logistics Intelligence (LI) helps shippers solve complex shipping issues by illuminating powerful insights found in their data. Through insights and alerts, decision support, business automation, and powerful carrier management tools, Sifted LI empowers users to make confident decisions on their path to increased shipping efficiency.

Sifted Marketplace Intelligence (MI) is for Amazon FBA sellers, and much like LI, offers powerful insights and analytics that are otherwise near-impossible to come by. Sellers can automatically find reimbursement opportunities, visualize sales geography down to the zip code, analyze fees, and much more.

PARCEL Forum features an extensive lineup of insiders and experts, and we’re proud to be included among those presenting! On Tuesday, Sifted’s Chief Growth Officer Caleb Nelson and VP of Data Insights Kevin Miller will lead a presentation on carrier diversification.
